I was thinking about purchasing some patio doors and a salesman from Express Bi-folding Doors (EBD) of Leeds came to my house on 20 October last year. He completed an order form and I paid a deposit of £1,145 by credit card against the total price of £4,701. A surveyor called on 26 October to take some measurements but I changed my mind on the morning of 28 October.­ However,­ EBD has said that straight after the survey, the glass and blinds order had been placed and manufactured­ in Italy which means that most of my deposit payment is non-returnable. What should I do? This scenario is covered by some important trading standards legislation called The Cancellation of Contracts Made in a Consumer's Home Regulations 2008. In a nutshell, most contracts worth more than £35 made in the home are cancellable by a consumer within seven days but, in this case, you tried to cancel too late, on the eighth day. Crucially, however, Capital Letters established that EBD failed to give you the correct paperwork, prescribed­ by the regulations,­ supposed­ to give you information about your right to cancel, the consequence of which is to make the contract unenforceable.

After many emails and the involvement of EBD's solicitors, it accepts it was breaching the regulations and has agreed to refund your deposit, which I applaud. This is an expensive lesson for EBD and it has amended its paperwork to avoid this type of calamity in the future. modern front doors sussexYou are very lucky that the law bailed you out on this occasion. jeep wrangler 4 door for sale arizonaIf EBD had failed to issue a refund, you could have sought reimbursement from your credit card company.windows and doors abbotsford Steve Playle is team leader at Surrey Trading Standards Service.lambo doors price in pakistan
